He had no idea who I was, but then I have had a haircut and my beard has turned white.  Back in the day, I went to HW shows with him, Jill Strobridge, Chris Warburton and others.  I haven't cared for the last couple of releases, but I think it's time to jump back in the HW pool.

 	Hi Stuart! I remember you, even meeting you if I'm thinking of the 
right person, welcome back. I *think* I saw Fofp at the Manchester gig on 
Saturday, about six people ahead in the HW set, but never managed to make 
contact after a lengthy and difficult experience with the desk numpty 
picking up my ticket delayed our actually getting in until just before 
the Pink Fairies. I thought HW were really good, though, even if Dave's 
guitar needed to be more present and up-front--actually everybody's 
guitars, the PA was much more set up for bass and there was enough of that 
going round, especially as Niall never took a guitar part where I saw. 
Dibs is really growing into the frontman role, isn't he? (Whilst shrinking 
slightly in other dimensions, I should say, lest that seems like a jibe.) 
Also Tim looks younger every gig and Fred managed to find places where 
piano actually fitted. I applaud them both! But given Fred is there, let's 
have some violin too :-) Yours,
 				Jon (probably now disappearing back into 
timewarp)
